WIMMERA residents were treated to an extraordinary set for Horsham’s annual Carols by Candlelight on Sunday night.

It was the first time children music group the Mik Maks had performed at the show and the performers were more than well received. Children enjoyed their goofy style of music and joined into the music, dancing and singing through the night.

Anna Marshall, 34, said Carols by Candlelight is a great chance to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

“To celebrate with friends and family is what it is all about,” she said.

Valerie Elbourne, 65, said she expected the show to be different because of the change in venue, but still great.
